Gonna do that for sure. Do you have a video to locate the side step screw covers. Actual position of each cap. My step is covered in so much 5h1t I cant find them . Pete

Great tip thanks, Could anything be sprayed into void to full area and seal it

So if you want to replace the side light markers, you'll do what now?

Brilliant work. I would suggest using butyl tape as it allows for expansion and contraction in cold and hot weather

What’s best solution when all your holes are so rusty u can only keep trim on with white duct tape ???…. Maybe worth making small 10cmX10cm plates up with the hole in the middle ?? … chop little 10cm squares out and weld plates in ??…. Maybe worth a metal fabrication Co doing it by laser and computer even ??…. Thoughts appreciated :-)❤

Do you know if this is needed on the 2020 please

I think that thin plastic disc would be better to cover the hole, the hole was probable a need in production line for something thats my guess, I am after crafter not sure if it will be like that. Thanks...

Vs30 sprinter have a rubber seal now so no need to seal.

Sign vinyl has micro perforations. That is going to allow for water incursion.

Only just found your channel, and want to thank you for your tips on the areas that can rust. Will spend tonight watching your other videos.

for bonus points, a spray of waxoil into the cavity will help prevent future issues. very usefull video tho, cheers

Silicone these from the inside when you install insulation

What number sikaflex are you using ?

Fantastic I shared it on self build campers having helped a friend do that job. Congratulations on how many people you help save their vans from rust. Your style of instruction and presentation makes you an excellent instructor and a pleasure to learn from.

I think the side rail is also to be checked for leaks, and in my case, the back door rubber seal at the top was letting water in the crack between 2 body parts that were not sealed properly (gummy material was missing). Reapplied silicon all along the body parts hidden by the seal. Hopefully no more leaks

Fantastic advice thank you I am looking to get a an old sprinter early next year guess what I am doing first . 😊 thank you .

Great vid, word of advice to fellow van converters, some of the panels look very similar, such as the one on the sliding door and the one opposite, but they are slightly different, the clips are in a different location on each by about 1cm, varely noticeable until you got the thing covered in sikaflex and it won't go on😂

Thanks mate

What about just doing away with all those panels and filling the holes with fibreglass

Clean out the drain holes???

Mad....and those vans were not cheap to buy when new.

One off the best vids THANKS PAL JOBS A GOOD EN

Fantastic video.. but i do have a question, how easy is it to remove plastic pannel at a later date??

thanks so much , l am in the middle of turning my 2008 model in to a camper and insulating it

Great video, I have a 906 2011, it gas virtually no rust, I want to keep it that way, for years. Its low mileage. Sikoflex is the product I ysed to install monumental scilpture we bonded really heavy items with it. Are there any drain holes I can empty any possible water from my sills

Hi man, nice work! How many bottles you used?

Love the glue sprayer! I go through so many tins of that stuff!

12:26 is that a FROG in there?

Those stickers remind me of the packing tape sheetrock repair videos...

The sprinters ALL rust in the body... this is a great tip! I just snagged a 2011, i will be checking this asap!

Going to do this on my Renault/Vauxhall van also. Water also came in and rusted inside and side panel of my van exactly because of this design fault. Thanks!

Must do mine ! Fortunately I’m in Spain and my sprinter is mint but moving north soon 🤔Thanks , subscribed 👍🏻

Good man

Can you still change the bulb in the future?

I’m just about to start converting a new van. Glad I came across this video before I started. Great vid. Thanks

I done the trim clip sealing unfortunately rust had already set in. keeping on top of rust on a sprinter is a job in itself

Another great video, thanks so much 👍

Thanks for sharing Bud - what a shocking design flaw! Unbelievable!

how much did this cost

great video mate, would you recommend doing the same on a Ducato?

Great advice buddy thanks 😆John york be crafter

Another great presentation, thanks for your efforts, going to do mine now.

Very good presentation, have a 2015 144 ex ambulance 906, ran a seal of silicone along the top of the plastic side piece all round and check drain holes regularly, works for me.

I’m new to everything campers and have really enjoyed watching your Nomad build Could I ask what colour Raptor you used please? Your finish is superb on the paint btw!! 🙌🏻

Brilliant video thanks for sharing. I'm glad I've watched it. Will share it with my friends 👍

So,. How do you ever get the trim off without breaking the clip holders on the trim (this ruining the attachments) after you seal the clips to the body?

Is this the same front and rear

Superman save’s the day 👍👍

O.K. valid issue and your video is great in showing these problem areas in perfect detail. 👍 A few issues if I may though: I absolutely cringe 😖, when I see these sidepanels being removed with a bare metal screwdriver. You'll be putting scratches in the paintwork causing other corrosion issues. You should also remove the trim clips from the bodywork using similar PLASTIC tools meant for the job. And PLEASE: Remove the markers PRIOR to removing the panels to avoid damaged wiring whilst pulling the panel. The markers have an etched in arrow on one end of the lens, push them in that direction, lift them out and remove the bulb socket with a twist (as shown). Replace ALL (125 on our LWB Crafter) clips with new FACTORY ones (don't use cheap Chinese knock-offs, they are brittle out of the bag). Add a waxing agent, "Mike Sanders" fluid or similar to the INSIDE areas aroud the clip holes. And only use a clip sealant, that remains flexible over time (we used Dekaseal). We've done the lot on our 2014 Crafter and along with a Raptor coating on the side and lower panels, rust should not be an issue. 😎

Great tip. Could this not be done from inside the van when its completely empty, without taking the trim off?
